Swinging things back into Atlanta and we were back to the Triple Crown format again. This meant a tough go for the privateers who got shaved off earlier in the day but our photographers were out in full force all day catching a few of them in action. Lets take a look at some of the FXR athletes who lined up at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

Richard Jackson took the lead in the 250 LC! and things were looking promising…

…however, Jackson got in-between two riders making some aggressive passing and ended up on the ground and that was the end of his day in Atlanta.

Jerry Robin finished 15th in the LCQ.
